Hi Krzych, Mike, I too can recommend Radeon HD 6450, as a successor to HD 5450 in the 20W (less heat) passive cooler (fanless), single slot optionally low profile cards, especially from a Radeon only maker like Sapphire. I have a 5450 well working out of the box with acceleration, driving two monitors over dual-link DVI cable for 2560x1440 plus VGA cable for 1280x1024 together. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_HD_5000_Series#Radeon_HD_5400 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_HD_6000_Series#Radeon_HD_6400 Just remember to check your monitor inputs for card compatibility first. You can still find 6450 brand new on the market, it works just the same. The cards are good enough for showing multiple screen videos on OpenBSD. You need to evacuate heat from the card, add-on case fan is recommended. Kind regards, Anton Lazarov
